Sukhothai Soup

Another great recipe from Madeleine Greey's Get Fresh! (Macmillan 1999). As a tester for her cookbook, this was my favourite recipe. Try this delicious East meets West soup recipe to warm you up! Perfect to serve at your Thanksgiving dinner too.
 

1   butternut squash (baked and strained)
1 tsp   vegetable oil
1 Tbsp   ginger, grated
1   medium red onion
2   ripe pears, peeled and chopped
4 cups   chicken stock
1 tsp   salt
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp   Thai red curry paste
1 can   low-fat or regular coconut milk
 
 
 
 
 
   
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and bake on a lightly greased (or use parchment paper) cookie sheet. Put in the oven and bake until tender (about 50 minutes). Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Heat a large soup pot at medium, add the oil, sauté the red onion until tender.
Add the ginger and curry paste. Stir often for these ingredients burn easily and cook about one minute.
Add the chicken stock, squash, pears, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Return to soup pot, bring to a simmer then stir in the coconut milk. Cook until thoroughly heated.
Serve garnished with freshly chopped coriander. Serves 4
